Is It the Relationship or the Idea that's the Problem? I share some mental models I have on relationships, ideas and how I think people view others. These can be useful when introducing new ideas.

Maybe you have a good idea but you need to work on that relationship first

I should’ve told her that I’ve met all the dinosaurs and we used to hang out.

Instead I just looked at her confused then smiled.

I know a few people where I’m pretty sure looking 10-15 years older helped how they were perceived eh (this is when they were like 23/24)

a man says i 'm older than i look in a netflix ad ALT: a man says i 'm older than i look in a netflix ad

Meanwhile this weekend, my daughter asked me if, before she and her brother were born, if there were dinosaurs around when I was younger.

I mean, I've had people make comments where they think I don't have enough experience to know what I'm talking about. They think I just started my testing career.

Also had some consultants in my team think I was younger than them... when I had a good few years on them. 😅

Oredev Conference 2025 - Day 1 Here are my highlights from the first day of the 2025 Öredev Conference. Aside from some key takeaways from the talks, I include useful resources that the speakers recommend.

Wrote what I learned in my 1st day at @oredev.org

- What testers are afraid to say
- Collective Risk Management

And More.

I liked how @martin-n.bsky.social encourages his team to use Quality Criteria to categorises bugs and test cases.

Useful for teams to see what types of risks are being addressed (and in turn what are not covered).

@oredev.org

Also highly recommend you check out @jitgos.bsky.social ’s newsletter if you care about building high quality software.

Really enjoyed listening to @jitgos.bsky.social talk about managing uncertainty in complex systems - and how to handle this.

@oredev.org

Heaps of gems in Katrina’s talk from Tester to CTO.

@oredev.org

If you missed it, it’s your loss.

Sorry, I mean you can also check put her next session when she talks about presenting to boards.

Need to talk to my husband about what I learned at @jrosaproenca.bsky.social ’s talk, as I think he would be find this super interesting.

Not as much relevant for me in my current role but taking notes so I can try tell him as much as possible.

@oredev.org

I feel the same way about flaky tests.

@jrosaproenca.bsky.social giving a great talk at @oredev.org

@testerfromleic.bsky.social kicking ass at his talk at @oredev.org today 💪

Excited about 3 days of learning at @oredev.org

Few sessions in, so far so good!
